Artillery
New York, New York, United States
What it is
Artillery combines load testing, scalable Playwright end-to-end testing, and production monitoring in one toolkit. It supports load, stress, and soak tests, including distributed runs across AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, and Azure Container Instances. HTTP, WebSocket, and Socket.IO are built in, while other protocols can be added through plugins. Playwright scripts can run as load tests or synthetic checks; the homepage also describes a Turbo runner beta for sharding and parallelizing large Playwright suites. Listed integrations include Datadog, OpenTelemetry, New Relic, Splunk, Honeycomb, AWS CloudWatch, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. Artillery says typical users include application developers, test and QA engineers, and operations or SRE teams responsible for production backend systems. The free plan lists 30 reports per month, with one month of data retention and up to five workers per distributed test. Team costs $199 a month and includes 1,000 reports per month and six months of data retention. Cloud reporting is opt-in per test run, and tests run in the user's environment even when reports are sent to Artillery Cloud.
